Michael Kellett, Motorcycle Enthusiast

“I’ve ridden with groups where I knew everybody in the group … and two or three out of a dozen people decide they’re going to drink a mixed drink. I’ve taken the opportunity to condemn that openly … you can do it in a constructive way, a way that is non-confrontational.”

James Raymond Lock, Accident Reconstructionist and Highway Specialist

Jude Schexnyder, Department of Public Safety, Retired
